THE PHILOSOPHY
EMBARK IS AN ACTION WORD. It makes you move from a state of inertia to a state of momentum. Embark represents the beginning of a journey. And a journey that is by far the most fascinating one is called LIFE.
It's a belief that there is a lot of similarity between Life & Business and the best similarity is that both are beautifully paradoxical. Both can be planned, but rarely turn out as planned. Both work on forecasts, but also prove the futility of forecasting. Both are supposed to be predictable, but rather are made memorable by the unpredictable. Both are as much about learning, as they are about unlearning. Both are journeys to be enjoyed, but end up becoming destinations to be reached. Both are actually very simple & logical, but made complex & irrational. Both thrive on the people around them, but also get destroyed because of the people around them. And finally, both are supposed to be “lived”, but end up just “existing”.
Humans & business owners both believe that they embark on the journey of life as well as business when they are born or when they start the business. Whereas that is true, somewhere along the line they stop living their life & enjoying their business. The journey ceases to be. The purpose behind starting this mission called “Embark� is to make business owners stop running on the proverbial treadmill of their businesses whereby they begin confusing movement, with progress. We want you to start moving ahead in the true sense of the term & enjoy the fruits of being a business owner.
In other words, this is born out of a desire to make Business Owners Embark. Again.

Role - Employee matches are NOT made in heaven!
A goal without a plan, is just a dream!
What’s in it for me?

Assess the “compatibility” of your current team to their roles. Understand the right fit for the right role through a scientific approach.
Break down the overall organisational goal into individual goals for your team.Let the team know their contribution is significant to company’s growth.
A question that each employee will ask, and is entitled to! Envisioning a career roadmap and communicating it to them will make all the difference.
Businesses don't fail The economics of businesses fail! Ensure your working capital requirements are not a hindrance in your growth.
04 DRIVING RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Do a cost benefit analysis For every resource & asset invested in. All resources to be driven towards 100% efficiency & utilization.
Prepare for your next level of growth Ensure you are financially prepared to support the next level of your business growth.

CLIENT SPEAK “Business coaching has helped me work on my priorities,
understand the process of making things happen without me getting into the day-to-day operations. Coach Vishal has not just shown me but demonstrated in my business the importance of people, processes and strategy. The effect of this has made an impact on how I work on my business now, which is no more just local but beyond that.” EduTech www.learnac.in
Dr. Ninad Sheode MD, Learners’ Academy (LearnAc)
“I have been running a pan-India company for last 14yrs
but coaching with Vishal has made me see business in a different light altogether! Strengthening the core of the company, working with my team, not just saying but showing and doing what’s important for my business growth, is what Coach has done. Both Vishal and Akankasha are action oriented, which is the reason I am able to see impact of their work on my company.” Digital Measurement Solutions www.testo.com
Mr. Kalidas Bhangare MD, TESTO India
“Team Embark has a very personalized approach
Apparel exports www.nayika-jaipur.com
and not a generic approach to every business. The fact that they want to understand your business and then work on it, makes them different from others who are very generic. With no false promises being made, both Vishal and Akankasha are very understanding, calm, and easy to work with and give you a lot of comfort while at the same time making you do things which you never thought of doing ever in your business. Taking over a family run enterprise had its own challenges for me, and coaching has made a mind-shift from wondering ‘what firefighting will I do today’ to ‘how can I grow the business continuously’. I have started looking at my business from all aspects, especially growth of sales, professionalizing the business, smoothening operations, with biggest impact being ‘acceptance of CHANGE’.”
